SATURDAY, JUNE 2 | 5-8pm

Toe-tapping music. Belt-loosening food and drink. Ah, summer.

Empire Strikes Brass

Born on the streets of Asheville, NC, Empire Strikes Brass smacks down the stereotype of a brass band with its globe-spanning fusion of Old School Funk, Ska, Southern Rock, Alt Country, Hip Hop, Boogaloo and New Orleans Jazz. Along with wall-to-wall horn power, ESB can be counted on for face-melting guitar solos, lush vocal harmonies and powerful drums, bass, keyboards and more. And they’re no stranger to festivals, performing at the South Carolina Jazz and Heritage Festival and the Big What?

Sammy Miller and the Congregation

“Joyful jazz” best describes the music of Grammy®-nominated drummer, singer and bandleader Sammy Miller and his ensemble, the Congregation. A Los Angeles native with a master’s from The Juilliard School, Sammy has gathered a troupe of equally accomplished musicians. Independently, the band members have performed and recorded with notable artists including Wynton Marsalis, Lady Gaga and Queen Latifah at venues including the White House, Lincoln Center and the Hollywood Bowl. Together, they craft jazz that just feels good.

BEFORE & AFTER

The concert starts at 5pm, but the park will open at 3:30pm. So come out and get the best spot. And don't forget your blankets, chairs, sunscreen and bug spray. Also, if you need hotel accommodations, The Courtyard by Marriott is steps from the amphitheater in Brown Family Park.

DIRECTIONS AND PARKING

From I-26 take Nexton Parkway (Exit 197B), turn right onto Sigma Drive and follow the signs to event parking. Parking is limited and first-come, first-served - so transit or car-pooling with friends is smart and encouraged.
